    Best and most authentic yoga school in Amsterdam. If you are looking for real yoga, look no further. These 1,5 hour classes take you on a true yogic journey. Chanting AUM and a mantra before class, you are being guided with a lot of love and profession into the asanas. They truly take you on a trip to India in 1,5 hours - and they share a lot of knowledge about the yoga philosophy. There is a lot of personal attention, hands on adjustments, and just lovely vibes all around. My favourite place to practice yoga in Amsterdam.

    In many years living in Amsterdam I tried several yoga studios but after trying what real yoga is, I would never go anywhere else. Svaha has became the place where I find the peace in myself in stormy days, where I learn not only how to do asanas but valuable lessons for life. Teachers have good knowledge and are experienced for years, for real they know what they do ! Sweet people and great community here. For me, as an expat, I've found the warmth of a family far away from my home.

    Some of my favorite teachers come from Svaha (Afke & Moena). I love the studios at Willemstraat and Begijnenstraat. They feel very intimate. I love their total involvement with yoga. I would say they are strong in story telling yoga. But here it really depends some times which teacher you have, some need some more experience, some are very experienced. My favourites are Patrick and Gosta. Good flows, good sequencing. It is yoga with philosophy. They love a good chant here!

    After trying out other yoga schools, I fell for Svaha Yoga: great teachers who really take you with them beyond the physical practice. Chanting, philosophy, focuses of the month and of the week, I found the perfect balance between the reassuring known Vinyasa flow and the constant discovery of what yoga can offer to us. Also 3 studios, no sign up for classes, a monthly card, different levels and styles, it makes it easy to integrate yoga in your life!

    I would love for everyone to experience a class at Svaha Yoga. It’s not a regular yoga school because of the high quality of the teachers and how the ‘classes’ are composed. In a very professional and authentic way they offer practices for mind, body and soul. I feel really safe in their studios, which I find more a living room than a studio actually; I love all the colors and smells inside. Hmmmmm

    Svaha Yoga = Dedication. This is a special place. You will feel the sheer commitment to teaching well and deeply. Learn not only the practice of yoga asanas, but also the meditation and devotional nature of yoga, guidance on how to initiate the spiritual practice, reconnect in a sincere dialogue with oneself, chanting, yoga classes helping people recovering from severe physical impairment. Any teacher I have practiced with in Svaha has led the practice with competence, attention to students, knowledge, experience and discipline. I have practiced yoga around the world for 20 years, including in India, and I was immediately convinced by Svaha Yoga. This is the most essential, authentic and inspiring studio you can find in Amsterdam. Try the free community class and you will understand! Not the "bling bling" fashionable studio to see and be seen, but where you can tune in with your and others' spirituality, in an atmosphere of friendship and genuine care.

    I was blessed to find this yoga studio straight after I moved to the Netherlands. Yoga practice at Svaha goes beyond just asana practice and I am very thankful to learn so much from great teachers such as Gosta, Patrick and Josie. Btw, other teachers at Svaha are also very professional and ispiring.

    Best place to practice in the city! The studio has a very welcoming atmosphere and community that feels like coming home. All Svaha teachers are very knowledgeable and offer teachings of authentic hatha yoga, philosophy and mantra. Very well thought out asana sequencing. Thank you Patrick, Gösta and Svaha team <3

    I came here for a free meditation in June and loved it. The whole building and experience is amazing, you slowly walk up a few flights of stairs to this beautiful cozy attic with the most amazing energy. Idk it’s amazing that’s all I know.

  • 5/5 maike s. 3 years ago on Google • 1 review
    My favorite yogastudio since 2007. Very professional teachers. It is the place where all comes together. They give Vinyasa practice on three levels, all with a good eye on the right alignment. So also when you do a very challenging level 3 class you know your technique is well enought to prevent you from injuries. They sing, they speak out. This is the place where you sweat, you chant, you laugh, you can be emotionally touched and where you can find silence. I love to come here. And even since i moved away to the other side of the country i still create the opportunities to visit them. And enjoy a great class, since they are really unique!

👍👍 Great squash facilities! There are lots of players, almost to the world-ranked pro level down to the casual player. Great social atmosphere too. Awesome bar and great food. The only thing is that it is super popular and reservations for courts fill up fast.

😠 I can't even begin to describe how much I am disappointed with the TrainMore takeover of SportsWorld. When I've signed up for the gym, I was promised quality/ exclusive services and facilities. And I agreed to pay a somewhat high price for it (~80 EUR per month). In the transition period, however, I...

😐 Everything is nice about the gym - no problem. But the only thing I DO NOT UNDERSTAND is why does it close at 5 pm on weekends?? It's so early!! So inconvenient. And also it opens at 7 am on weekdays - also quite late! In the U.S. gyms open at 5 or 6 am during the week and on weekends work almost th...
